I am still trying to get appointment but not much success at the minute. Is there any different or problem if my application got converted to postal application at the PEO? And surely I will keep you updated.winber wrote:I'll be very interested in how you go, my absences add up to nearly the same number.
So you are not going to do it by post? From what I gather if you have more than a certain number of absences they'll turn it into a postal application at the PEO.
Is this affirmative? I phone them up and they said no. There are posts in this forum says I can but it is not clear. I am very interested in any other members that have similar situation and have actually applied.tsumeisienna wrote:You should exclude days of travel i.e. the day you left UK and day you arrived in UK.
yes I will include the date of return and departure. however, when counting the absences, do they count these dates or only the days in between?winber wrote:Regarding the dates - doesn't the application form to say to put down the date of departure and date of return? So that is what you should put down - don't chop a day off either side or you risk upsetting them.
It would be worth supplying proof I think of the different reasons you were absent.
Holidays, paid or unpaid, count as days out of the country as you left out of choice and were not sent by work.Alishah wrote:I am not sure; If I go on paid annual leave or holidays out of UK, during this period I pay all the taxes and recieve salary in UK bank account.
Still these days are counted as out of UK and I will be disqualifiy?
Please answer
My understanding is that if you apply for ILR and do not qualify that it is converted to an application for extension. See caseworker's manual for confirmation. It would be prudent to provide the documentation that satisfies the criteria for extension with your ILR application.johnnyng wrote:I have consulted with a few immigration lawyers and they all stated that since my number of days outside UK (minutes business trips) is quite high (220 days), they cannot guarantee that I will have ILR.
Some of them suggested that I should apply for Tier 1 and then apply ILR at a later date when the total number of days become less than 180. I am thinking of doing that to be on the safe side.

Yes, I did include all dates of my absences, with brief explanation for each.gidoc wrote:Hi 007
Thanks for your response
Just to clarify about absences, the guidance does say that paid AL holidays and business trips will be allowed, did you mention all your absences in the form ?
If your trip is not a paid holiday or family reason, it would be better to reduce or cancel it.My holidays will come up close to 190 days in 5 yr period, and I was seriously considering reducing my forthcoming 15 days trip before applying for ILR.
Sounds confusing, since 007 mentioned something diffrent which is in our favour? what to believe?Holidays, paid or unpaid, count as days out of the country as you left out of choice and were not sent by work.
I dont know what is correct?No, the paid holidays and travel dates are not included.
I recently applied for my ILR, with 228 days absence outside UK (including paid holiday in summer + easter) during the last 4 years, and got my ILR without any problems.

he told me that the number of days is not a strict rule but anything under 180 days is a straightforward case. any other case is not a guaranteed success. i suggest that if your trip can be postponed then it is safer to do so.gidoc wrote:Hi
Thanks for your response. As per my estimation above I thought that less than 200 days will be a reasonable number of private absences. Did the immigration lawyers you consulted give any number at all?
My private absences will be close to 190 unless I cancel my 17 days of holidays planned in Feb-Mar before my eligibility date in April 2010.
In the event that one does have further Tier 1 leave, one will have to choose a new start point provided that in the initial 6 -12months one does have many absences, to compensate.
best regards
Provided appropriate letter for study/conference/business leave with your application.gidoc wrote:Thanks for your response
My paid holidays( annual leave) is coming to 175( including my forthcoming holidays, excluding travel dates for all) and study/conference leave( official,business leave) is 19, in total 175+19=194
Does that sound okay?
Best regards
